Bush Didn’t Lie, The Media Lied

Bush Didn’t Lie, The Media Lied

The DOD lied and Bush’s handlers lied. Bush and the CIA told the truth. As I reported at the time, there really was W-M-D…

Before
and after the invasion of Iraq with Operation Iraqi Freedom, I wrote several articles (Here
is one of them in 2008) proving with the available Intel that in fact
Saddam Hussein did indeed have WMD. But
for the most part, because of the communist news agencies, it fell on deaf dumb
and blind minds. In one of the articles
I showed photos of Saddam’s military, moving caravans of trucks to Syria and
they weren’t loaded with camel dung my friend.

Now years after OIF, Operation Iraqi Freedom, some of our military are
showing up in VA hospitals after initially being turned away, now with the long
term effects of Saran, and mustard gas poisoning.

Moreover,
new
media accounts— including coverageby NRO’s Patrick Brennan — confirm what I repeatedly have written
since the depths of Operation
Iraqi Freedom: The late dictator Saddam Hussein did in fact
have weapons of mass death and destruction, and the United States of America was correct to
invade Iraq, find these toxins, and destroy them. Also vital: padlocking this
Baathist general store for militant-Islamic terrorism. Some of the WMD that was moved to
Syria was later used by King
Assad of Syria against the rebel forces.

While the criminal liberal Communist-American
press gently slept, evidence continued to mount that Hussein still had
WMDs, though perhaps not in quantities that would bulge warehouses.

“Since 2003 Coalition forces have
recovered approximately 500 weapons munitions which contain somewhat degraded
mustard or saran nerve agent,” states a June 21 declassified summaryof a report from the National
Ground Intelligence Center. “Despite many efforts to locate and
destroy Iraq’s pre-Gulf War chemical munitions, filled and unfilled pre-Gulf
War chemical munitions are assessed to still exist.”

It turns out that — based on open
sources — I vastly underestimated the size of Hussein’s stockpiles of deadly
devices.

In this story’s first outrage, it now transpires that Hussein had some
5,000 tank shells filled with saran nerve gas, mustard gas, and other lethal
agents. This is roughly ten times the arsenal that I had earlier reported that
he possessed. Had I access to more accurate information back then, my pieces
would have reflected the depth of Hussein’s supplies of these munitions.

Even these recent news stories overlook yet another discoveryfrom 2004: The U.S.
Department of Energy and the Pentagon removed 1.77 metric tons of low-enriched
uranium from Iraq “that could potentially be used in a radiological dispersal device or
diverted to support a nuclear weapons program,” according to a DOE press
release. This development was almost totally overlooked by the entire press
corps, except for The Weekly Standard’s
Stephen Hayes, author Richard Miniter, and yours truly.

Team Bush’s near-silence about Saddam Hussein’s 3,894 pounds of uranium alone
points to this story’s second outrage: the Bush administration’s phenomenally
flaccid response to its most vociferous detractors on the WMD question.

Then-president George W. Bush’s critics used the most bitter and vicious
tones to accuse him of deceiving America and the world about weapons of mass
death. “Bush lied, people died” was the Left’s relentlessly repeated
anti-Bush indictment. The liberal fever swamps were rife with theories that
Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, and their pals at Halliburton concocted the
WMD charges from thin air. Why? To justify a U.S. invasion in order to seize
Iraq’s oil fields. Lifting sanctions and simply letting Iraq’s oil flow must
have been too much trouble.

The notion that Operation Iraqi Freedom rested upon a giant foundation
of even bigger lies severely damaged the reputations of the United States of
America, Bush, the conservative movement, and the GOP — the latter two of which
tended to support the Iraq invasion. (So did then-senators Hillary Clinton,
John Edwards, and John Kerry, and 108 other congressional Democrats at the
time, although most later lied, turned tail, and pretended never to have votedto attack Iraq.)

Amid this wholesale meltdown of domestic and international public
opinion, the Bush administration inexplicably and unforgivably yielded to the
architects in Bush’s political operation and sat on this treasure trove of
exculpatory evidence. In fact, Bush did not’
lie about WMDs. They really existed — and in enormous amounts. Moreover, they were sitting in the Iraqi
desert, some making it to the Syrian dessert before OIF broke out with the
shock and awe that we witnessed over Bagdad.
Now we find out that discoveries of the WMD has been making U.S. GIs
physically ill. (In yet another cover-up and outrage, 17 soldiers reportedly
were denied the medical attention or subsequent commendations that they
deserved for handling these poisons. They also were told to clam up about what
they saw.)

It is outrageous that the Pentagon and, apparently, Bush’s political
team concealed proof that America’s chief
casus belli actually existed. Instead, the howling hyenas of the Left
were allowed to gnaw away at Bush’s political corpse.

Why did anyone involved in this
disaster think that this would be good for America domestically or globally?
How thick were the skulls of Bush’s political advisers not to see the
importance of presenting this information amid deafening shouts that the
president and those of us who supported Operation Iraqi
Freedom were just a pack of war mongers and filthy liars?

Anyone who aided and abetted this extremely destructive cover-up should
be removed immediately and barred permanently from government agencies,
political campaigns, and party organizations, and then brought up on charges of
mandamus.

The third and most frightful outrage here is that some 2,500 of these canisters
of nerve gas and mustard gas remained in Iraq. Rather than implement a policy
of “No
WMD Left Behind,” roughly half of Saddam Hussein’s WMDs were cast adrift
in Iraq. But remember “they didn’t
exist.”

And now my friend, they are in the so-called humane and prudent hands of
the peaceful Islamic State.

Some experts now say that these deadly weapons have degraded and pose no
threat to anyone. You know what I think
of so-called experts… We should have
these so-called experts go out there in the sand and dig up these harmless
weapons.

At any time, the Islamic State can use these weapons against American
and allied targets in the Middle East or anywhere else. If they detonate them
and they work, or even slightly work, hundreds or thousands could be killed in
an agonizing death.

Then again, they or their comrades in the Jihadist International could
strap these artillery shells to sticks of dynamite and threaten to explode
them. While the saran and mustard gas might be somewhat inert, which’ mayor,
governor, prime minister, or president could bank on that? Such uncertainty would give the Islamic State
tremendous leverage: “Obey our demands, or those sticks of dynamite
will become a cloud of nerve gas.”

THE BOTTOM LINE: So now we learn that Bush did not lie,
but the mantra continues. There will
likely never be a media report on this because it was the media that willingly
perpetuated the lie of this criminal government cover-up.

In a wisted act of self-mutilation, Bush’s Administration severely
wounded itself and America by hiding the abundant evidence that would have
silenced Bush’s and the USA’s loudest and harshest opponents and enemies. Even worse, are these “imaginary” weapons — that proved to be
all too real — were abandoned in the sands of Syria and Iraq for the Islamic
State terrorists to now adopt as their own.

And, before Obama prematurely withdrew U.S. troops from Iraq, he did
nothing to fix any of this. I think this
is by design, what do you think???

From the Euphrates to the Potomac, this is nothing short of governmental criminal malpractice at the very least, and treason at the very most.

About Me

I am a first generation American. My ancestors immigrated from Europe, legally I might add. My education is the equivalent of two years of college. No degree, so if you find that I am grammatically challenged, please forgive me. I am however, very well read in philosophy, political science and American history. I write about many subjects, mostly political. Sometimes about what chaps my hide, or just to provoke thought. I have been accused of being a right wing Christian conservative extremist, so I am coming out of the closet. I confess, yes, I am. I believe that it will take the power of God and a lot of extreme people like myself to grab hold of the steering wheel of this country and take a sharp turn to the right in order to stop this great nation from being buried in liberal socialism and tyranny. I welcome your comments, positive or negative. You can e-mail me at writedeandrea@hotmail.com or leave a comment at the bottem of my articles.
